Hair Transplantation

Overview

Hair fall is becoming a serious issue with every passing day and one of the most common grievances amongst men. Unexplained and excessive hair fall can be quite embarrassing because it’s all in your head! Whilst there's no harm in aging gracefully the effects of baldness can be far more traumatizing than merely the loss of hair. No wonder, people experiencing hair fall go through a great deal of stress and depression. Hair Transplantation is an effective surgical solution for baldness. This surgical technique involves the removal of hair follicles from the back of the patient’s scalp, which are more resistant to hormonal changes and relocating to the thinning or balding areas.

The Procedure

Hair Transplantation is performed using two techniques

Follicular unit extraction: This is a highly popular transplantation method that involves removal of individual follicles from behind the scalp area one by one with the help of a small circular instrument and implanting it in the balding or thinning areas.

Follicular unit transplantation: This is a much simpler procedure that involves the removal of a strip of tissue from behind the scalp area, cutting it into follicular units and strategically placing it over the head.
